The Back Cover summary:

She was just an ordinary mortal . . .

“You’re dead” is so not what Allie Watson wants to hear. Unfortunately, it explains a lot. Like the dark, angelically handsome man who ferried her to this strange, hidden land. The last thing she remembers is stepping off a curb in front of a crosstown bus. Now she’s surrounded by gorgeous fallen angels with an unsettling taste for blood—and they really don’t want her around. Not exactly how she pictured heaven.

. . . until death catapulted her into a seductive world she never imagined.

Raziel is unsure why he rescued Allie from hellfire against Uriel’s orders, but she stirs in him a longing he hasn't felt in centuries. Now the Fallen are bracing for the divine wrath brought by his disobedience, and they blame Allie for the ferocious Nephilim clawing at the kingdom’s shrouded gates. Facing impossible odds at every turn, the two must work together to survive. Raziel will do anything to defend his spirited lover against the forces of darkness—because Allie may be the Fallen’s only salvation.

I have had this one on my shelf for such a long time.
Every time I had to choose a new book to reed, this one would get picked up and but down again because I went for another book.
But finally I decided I should probably go and read it.
It's summary and cover had always drawn me in. Every time I picked it up. There was almost do doubt in my mind that I would not like this book.
And though it took some time for me to get all wrapped up in it's story, it did not disappoint me at all.
I really loved the way Kristina Douglas came a refreshing new world around the "Fallen" angel subject. I really enjoyed getting to know the world he has created in his book.
The main characters are absolutely to die for. I loved how the female main characters is a strong person and not some kind of damsel-in-distress,  one-look-at-the-handsome-man-and-sweep-me-right-off-my-feet kind of girl. And I really found the snarkyness and sometimes sarcastic ways of both main characters a real delight.
This book has surely left me wanting more. I want to know how the story will go on, and I want to know it now, preferably. But I guess I have to wait as I can not order the second book Demon, as it is sold out. The horror!!!!!!! How will I live?

Sometimes the life of a geek does not all evolve around books, movies, BJD's,  comics, games and all those kinds of things. Sometimes it's all about he living things like for example Pets.
My pets mean the world to me. They are part of my family just as much as my parents, my male and my best friends are. They are special to me and I love them very much.
I am a huge fan of Bunnies. I currently have three adorable rabbits.
This pretty is my bunny girl Angel, who we lovingly call Gelly.
She is a spunky little girl. She is very territorial over her cage, because she is as good as blind in one eye and we are not sure the other one is working properly as well. She can see, but not very well.
But we respect her and we handle her carefully so she never gets frightened when we enter her cage.
Though she may seem a real Devil inside of her cage with her growling and attacking if you do not know how to approach her.When you get her out of her cage and onto your lap you have the sweetest little cuddler you can imagine.

Movies I want to see: Deadpool

OOOOOOOHHHH MYYYYYYY GAAAAAWWWDDDDDD.

I so wanna see this movie.

For one... it's marvel. (need I say more?) 

Second.... I always have been a huge "secretive" Ryan Reynolds fan. (yep, you just got a huge confession there!!!!!)

Third of all It's effing deadpool!!!!! (I repeat, need I say more?)

I can not wait. Action packed with a buttload of humor with as big swirl awesomeness and you have got my attention. Or atleast... that is what the trailer is telling me.

The only downside that I can see, is that I have to wait so incredibly long to be able to go and see it.

2016, holy crappers. It surely will be a though long wait.

But I am seeing it with a positive note, it must really be worth the wait, right?

I was very happy and also very sad when my friend loaned me this book to read. As I just did not have the funds to buy it myself. I was so happy I could finally read the end of this tale that has had me in it's grip for several years. And The sad part came because I knew this was THE very last book in this series. It would all end with this book. And I kind of did not want it to end.
But I dove into the book, and just as I did with all the others in  this series, it caught me by the very first words. What I find very pleasant in Ellen Schreiber books is that it does not take you all that long to really feel like you are in the story, perhaps even part of the story. It only took a few sentences and it was as if I was home.
What I love in this book is that all the characters you know from the first books are still there. And Ellen even managed to pop in a total new character. Which I think is a really awesome one at that.
The way this book was written was in my eyes prefect. It felt good, the flow of the book  was good, it had no slow parts or parts where you might feel it's going to fast. It's easy to read and you can just enjoy the story without having to think all to much about it. The only thing you keep thinking is.. "How will it end!!??!"
And I am not even going to talk about the ending of the book. Worried I might spoil it to other readers who have not yet had a change to read it. So no opinion from me on that part.
But the story in this book really is once again amazing. I could not wish for better.

The verdict:
A book that  fantastic and is worthy of the series., but leaves you sad at the ending, knowing it won't ever come back.
